Thread: Mechanized Assault big impact early game?25 Sep 2013, 09:20 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2013, 09:13 AMHelpingHans I love the new assault grens which enable German players to easily take the fight to the soviet player early game. However a wise Soviet player will get m3+flamers to counter this. In order for the German player to counter that they must then go t2 for upgunned scout cars. At which point the soviet player go either go at-nades or guards and so the old meta resumes. Lots of players see this new commander as overpowered however they just haven't realized what counters the assault grenaiders yet =P. The problem is that soviets usually start off with a couple of conscripts first. You can't really get the scout car out until the second engagement. Assault grens basically let's the Germans easily win the first engagement which is a pretty big head start. The only way to win the initial engagement would be to build T1 immediately, but you wouldn't even know that he has assault grens by then. In: COH2 Balance

By the way it would be awesome if u could share your thoughts on this commander in a thread I made specifically for it. You can also use the molotovs inbetween you to keep them from getting close. Atleast I know that works against pgrens. In: COH2 Gameplay

Just asking for ladder page so I can understand what kind of experiential background he is making his claims from. Mine is in my sig. Jesus,man you still haven't played a game in months? Stop posting and play already. Don't you atleast want to try out one of the new commanders? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commanders / Units discussion 25 Sep 2013, 08:28 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2013, 08:22 AMpanzerjager2 Thanks , I assumed it was coming out at CP3. CP4 is a late enough time frame. have you tried out the assault grens , 250 ht with pgrens and the stug ausf e yet ? Only got in one match as Germans and it didn't last very long. Faught a new stug though, took out half a conscript squad in 1 hit. Seems like it could be a cheaper alternative to an ostwind. A bit like the old stuh from Vcoh. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Mechanized Assault big impact early game?25 Sep 2013, 08:15 AM I was a bit worried about this. Having a CP0 unit that beats the conscripts seemed like a bad idea the moment I saw it, but I haven't actually incountered any players using them yet. Everyone seems to be trying out the Ostruppen as well as getting a very painful lesson in just how crummy they are. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commanders / Units discussion 25 Sep 2013, 08:06 AM Jump back to quoted post25 Sep 2013, 07:46 AMpanzerjager2 Abdul wont reveal it ... he plays only soviets which would explain the forum posts. Now back on topic, does anyone not think that the new KV1 for its super cheap cost is a tad op No, not at all. The KV-1 doesn't have much killing power. Also note that it comes out at CP4, a while after most medium armor is on the field. It is very vulnerable to AT guns, and Panthers and Tigers eat it for dinner. It has as much impact as a P4 so I think it is good where it is. As for some other stuff: For the motherland: used it against Pgrens, 2 grens, and an MG with only 3 conscripts and took them handedly, just don't plan to do anything fast once it's done( seriously, they come to a crawl). B-4 Howitzer: Almost useless once you built. Takes forever to do anything and can't aim for shit, but get one vet and it becomes a titan. Just point click and goodbye heavy tanks. Took out a Tiger and a Elephant in the same game. Ostruppen: Useless. If you think that you are going to build an army out of these, think again. Conscripts can just walk around them like they are nothing. Use them to cap and be overall fodder. Can be used to delay your opponent quite well though. I haven't used forward bunker yet though, that seems like it could be a little OP in some cases. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commanders / Units discussion 25 Sep 2013, 07:37 AM I've used the KV-1 a few time already. It's seems to have the gun of t34 with a lot more durability. I don't know the exact stats, but 1v1 vs a PZ4 it pretty much is a toss up. I had two going up against a tiger and the tiger was winning pretty easily(well B-4 something else took it out ).

Thread: Why are T-34 so flowery?24 Sep 2013, 22:32 PM T34s tend to suffer the longer the battle drags on. I think balance would have been much better if the t34 could have been upgraded to the 85 after a while. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New Commanders / Units discussion 24 Sep 2013, 20:13 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2013, 20:01 PMThunderhun 3. By reaching a new rank in the game you unlock the new or buy commanders, maybe get them at high level; reach level 85-100 to get the 4 new ones (for example Assault Support Doctrine was unlocked at level 45). Well let's be serious, In the end they want to sell something. I hardly think that no matter how much we complain that they are going to just release everything for free, but there is still the problem of how they are selling it. It looks greedy and makes people who buy the full game angry seeing how much content they are missing even though they bought a full game. At least with my suggestions they could say that the new content is part of an expansion pack which is why it wasn't originally available, or that the purchasable commanders aren't really anything new so you don't feel ripped off after purchase. They should atleast come up with commander bundles so buying them all at once doesn't seem so expensive. The current model is just bad business, and it makes the game look bad, leading to less sales of the game as a whole. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: New Commanders / Units discussion 24 Sep 2013, 19:55 PM While I don't think relic should pursue this sort of business model in future games due to it detering new players, I think there is a way for them to save a bit of face here. 1. Offer new ability commanders for free and sell the mix and match commanders. (This makes sure new players don't miss out on abilities and will buy others to open up new playstyles when they start to enjoy the game). or 2. Offer the new ability commanders bundled with the TOW DLC, as well as sell them seperate. (This gives more of the feeling that they are being sold as an expansion pack, but are also selling them seperate for those who do not want the full expansion.) In: COH2 Gameplay
